Part Time Pediatric Endocrinologist for a Large Public Health and Hospital System in Silicon Valley
Job Description
Better Health For All
Santa Clara Valley Healthcare (SCVH), a large public teaching healthcare system, affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine, is seeking a part-time BE/BC pediatric endocrinologist to join our dynamic practice in our Department of Pediatrics with the option of also working in our pediatric primary care/urgent care clinics for a full-time position.
About Our Organization
SCVMC hosts four residency programs and one fellowship training program, and partners with Stanford University SOM and Stanford Healthcare for the clinical training of medical students, residents, and fellows. SCVMC is an ACS-verified Level 1 Trauma Center, a Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center, an ABA-verified Burn Center, a Primary Stroke Center, a Level 4 NICU, and a nationally recognized CARF-accredited Rehabilitation Center. Owing to its geographic location and specialty offerings, SCVMC not only serves the County, but also the larger region.
Providers in our health system also have the opportunity to use our integrated electronic health record (Epic), which brings together systemwide patient information. The Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) recognized SCVMC for achieving its highest level of success (Stage 7), based on our continuous innovation and optimization of our inpatient and outpatient EHR.
About the Community
SCVH is located in San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, offering a diverse choice of cultural, recreational, and lifestyle opportunities. Our physicians live in a range of communities, including urban (e.g., San Francisco), university (e.g., Palo Alto), high tech (e.g., many cities of Silicon Valley), mountain (e.g., Los Gatos), beach (e.g. Santa Cruz), and rural/agricultural (e.g., Morgan Hill and Gilroy). Situated in one of the most desirable regions of the country – only 45 minutes from the Monterey Bay and three hours from the Sierra Nevada – our physicians have the opportunity to enjoy a very high quality of life.
About the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology
Pediatric endocrinology is a part of a group of pediatric specialists who are concentrated in a multispecialty clinic across the street from the main hospital. The department has nutritionist and social work support as well as a weight management and healthy lifestyles program. SCVH is a teaching partner of the Stanford LPCH pediatric residency program and all physicians are encouraged to mentor and teach students and residents.
Our endocrinology team provides consultative inpatient and outpatient care for patients with a variety of endocrine disorders, ranging from growth problems, diabetes, obesity, disorders of thyroid, adrenal and pituitary among others. The current endocrine team consists of one part-time pediatric endocrinologist and a part-time nurse coordinator.
About the Position
The preferred candidate practices patient-centric care and is familiar with the needs of the underserved population. He/she needs to be board certified/eligible in pediatric endocrinology and have excellent clinical skills, effective communication skills, foster teaching and a collaborative practice. The ability to speak Spanish is a plus but not required. Clinical work is mainly at the San Jose clinic and as a consultant on the pediatric ward, PICU & NICU at the Valley Medical Center hospital, but all pediatric specialists cover on call needs by phone to our sister hospitals at O’Connor hospital, Regional Medical Center and St. Louise hospital. A half time position will share the on-call duties equally with the division partner. A full-time position is negotiable if the physician is willing to work half time doing pediatric endocrinology and the other half in the pediatric urgent care.
About Compensation and Benefits
We offer competitive compensation; a generous comprehensive benefit package (including 36 days of leave per year; 13 holidays; 5 CME days); comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; long-term disability insurance; AD&D insurance; life insurance; retirement plans; paid malpractice with tail coverage; and possible relocation reimbursement (pre-approval required).
